Since November 2009, members of the Texas BBQ Posse have traveled nearly 5,000 miles searching for the best barbecue in the state. True sojourners of smoked meat, BBQ Snob and prolific blogger Daniel Vaughn once called us. Back at you, Daniel.

As we await publication in The Dallas Morning News of our recent Best of Texas Tour, here’s an annotated readers’ guide, with links, to the first 11 chapters of our barbecue chronicles.

We tried. We really tried to find a good joint in the Bayou City. But “it’s a lot of OK,” Posse member Jim Rossman concludes.

Chapter 12: Best of Texas Tour

Coming this weekend, we’ll name the best 6 joints in the state, in order, and give you an invaluable tip about how to eat at Snow’s and Franklin’s on the same Saturday while avoiding those humongous lines.

The day John Mueller's (now old and not his) trailer opened on South 1st, I managed to get to Snows at 8:00AM, get in line at Franklins at 9:45 (to be about 30th in line; honestly, I think I saw some of you that day at Franklins and chatted a bit. Some of my past Franklin trips have run together, so perhaps it was a different trip?) and then make it to be first in line at JMuellerBBQ at 1:00 (his grand opening was 2:30PM). It was a wonderful day.I look forward to the tip to try both without waiting in line. Unless the tip is drive fast, cause I have tried that already.Keep up the great write ups and traveling.
